Lucky Enough

If you are lucky enough to see eagles and spend time watching them, you are lucky enough. This eagle family resides on the Susquehanna River a short distance from our New York home. We have watched them raise previous families and this was our first time to observe a little bit about this year’s family. We watched as they guarded and tended to the HUGE nest. We could hear eaglet cries, but saw none (so far).  We heard one call out for the other and watched in awe as the mate responded. I have not yet been fortunate enough to see eagles this close in Gloucester but I am lucky enough to have them nearby in New York. They are simply amazing and breathtakingly majestic.

I think this might be the female monitoring the nest from a distance.

Here  you can see both partners guarding nest. Lower right of nest for one, upper left for the other.

Dad coming in to check things out.

Calling for mate. I suspect it sounds like this to Jim’s ears when I call out for him.
